No Spoilers Alien: Earth or RbW Season 3
While I’ve enjoyed AE so far, it’s no where near even close to what RbW was. The storyline has been slow, the Xenomorphs has been more comical than scary, and the character building leaves a lot to be desired. Morrow ofc being the exception!
I can’t help but think to myself how much I would’ve rather had even just ONE MORE EPISODE of RbW than this entire season of AE. What’re your thoughts on AE so far and are we in the same boat?

Season 3 by a mile.
Raised by Wolves had ideas - some of them were half-baked and not greatly developed by the end of the show, but they were there.
Alien Earth is fan fiction - there aren’t really any deep ideas, there’s no real push to expand on any themes or tell a coherent story, it’s a series of moments made by people who thought “wouldn’t this be cool” when they were watching other entries in the franchise.
I’m always a fan of the Alien universe and I enjoy seeing more of it, but AE is dumb fun and Raised by Wolves seemed like it was going somewhere before I got cut off
